Is there a list of all the syndication cuts available anywhere?

Wouldn't that be nice?  I've always HATED syndication because you're
guaranteed to miss a few minutes of stuff that was worthy enough to
include in the episode in the first place.  I had heard once that Jerry
and Larry David personally inspected each episode and made the
syndication cuts themselves.

That's a good thing. I can't stand the way that they cut episodes of the Simpsons. Some of the funniest moments I can remember were cut out in syndication. Stuff like Homer's 'Rappin' Ronnie Reagan' tape, the 'Super Fun Happy Slide', and Smithers taking the 'Barney guarding job' at Moes were all sliced out.

I read in an interview that Jerry made the cuts.  He said it pained him
to do it.
He would sometimes watch an episode 3 or 4 times before making the
decision.

How much is cut from an average half-hour show?
